Ways TO REPAIR INFECTED FLASH DRIVE

WINDOWS XP IS OTHER WAY TO FIX WRITE PROTECTED DRIVES



* IN Windows XP - goto Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. This will open up a DOS window. Now type the name of your flashdrive followed by a colon, eg, mine was drive letter K so I type K

Now to list the directory, type DIR
This will show your directory. At this point I left the DOS window open and went back into Windows and clicked on the drive in Explorer. The write protect error still came up, but after clicking a couple of times I could see and open the files on the drive. 

Anyway, once you're in DOS you should be able to copy any files you want to another drive using the DOS 'copy' or 'xcopy' commands, and format the drive from DOS also. eg, To copy all files and directories (except empty directories) from drive C to drive A, enter

xcopy c: a: /s 

• - Start > Run > type ‘regedit’ then hit 'OK'.
  
  - Browse to the following key:
  
  My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
  
  - Double click on the string ‘WriteProtect’ and change the ‘Value Data’ box to ‘0’
  
  - You may also need to do this for the strings in any folders called ‘ControlSet***’ e.g. 
  
  My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
